Background. Loss of muscle mass and strength is a common symptom in the elderly
population. This is partly a result of the structural changes that occur during the aging …

The diffusive properties of adjacent muscles at rest were evaluated in male (n= 12) and
female (n= 12) subjects using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The principle, second and third …

Pennation angle (PA) is an important property of human skeletal muscle that plays a
significant role in determining the force contribution of fascicles to skeletal movement. Two …

The time dependence of the apparent diffusion tensor of ex vivo calf heart and tongue was
measured for diffusion times (τd) between 32 and 810 ms. The results showed evidence of …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is frequently applied to characterize the microscopic
geometrical properties of tissue. To establish whether and how diffusion MRI responds to …

Purpose To study the anatomical relationships involving the intrinsic and extrinsic myofiber
populations of the human tongue employing diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) with …

In this paper, we discuss matching of magnetic resonance, diffusion tensor (DT) images of
the human brain. Issues concerned with matching and transforming these complex images …

Purpose: To prospectively evaluate quantitative diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging
for monitoring skeletal muscle injury and repair after femoral artery ligation in mice. Materials …

The influence of passive shortening and stretching of the calf muscles on diffusion
characteristics was investigated. The diffusion tensor was measured in transverse slices …

The aim of the present study was to evaluate a fast clinical protocol to enable diffusion
tensor imaging of the human forearm and assess the reproducibility of six diffusion tensor …
